Famous quotes containing the words presidential and/or candidates:
“Mr. Roosevelt, this is my principal request—it is almost the last request I shall ever make of anybody. Before you leave the presidential chair, recommend Congress to submit to the Legislatures a Constitutional Amendment which will enfranchise women, and thus take your place in history with Lincoln, the great emancipator. I beg of you not to close your term of office without doing this.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“The difficulty is no longer to find candidates for the offices, but offices for the candidates.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
